Tourists Reveling in the Delights OF
the Beautiful halifax.

Tourists Reveling in the Delights of
the Beautiful halifax.
ORMoND. FLA, March 20 The fire.
quent pionics from Palatka to the Halifax
during the last ten days have added much
life to this place, and have apparently
resulted in great delight TO the eXcur-
sionisLs. One party came direct to Or
mond, drove through some OF the orange
groves, picked mandarins. grape fruit and
naval oranges, viewed with curiosity
the blooming and fruiting bananas, visit
ed the Indian burial mound at Bosarve,
and then ate their picnic dinner at Vera
Cruz cottage, on the ocean beach on the
peninsula opposite Ormond.
Another party went by the st. Johns
and Halifax railroad through Ormond to
DaytOna, drove through the hummocK
and the town, sailed to Silver Beach
across the Halifax, viewed the wonder
fully successful garden experiments of
Mr. Marsh by sub-irrigatl0n with warm
artesian water, and his pecans bearing
upon hickory stocks, then sailed to j. d.
MitchelPs to see his palms and tropical
plants and to feast upon his early fruits.
After this they drove SIX miles on the
ocean beach to OrmOnd, and lodged at j.
A, Bostrow's beautiful place, "Bosarve,"
on the peninsula opposite Ormond. In
Ine evening tue grounds ana tDe giant
OAKS were illuminated by the hanging
dres OF pitch pine on tire racks. sus-
pended around the trees on the river bank.
The following day they visited orange
and banana groves and the old Spanish
ruins ana Indian mounds in the OrmOGd
nummOck, and returned to Palatka,
declaring that in those two days
they had seen more of Florida than
during all their stay in the State.
Tourists are wild about the Halifax,
but say that large hotel is needed, par
ticuiarly at Ormond. On Friday 5. V.
White, OF Brooklyn, and MIR. Flagler, of
the Standard Oil Company, went over
the road This looks like consolidation
OF the Jacksonville, st. Augustine and
Halifax and the st. Johns and Halifax
railways. Mr.. Whites family, with Miss
Beecher, granddaughter OF the late Henry
Ward Bsecber, comes to OrmOnd to visit
this week. Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher is
now At the Putnam House, Palatka.

PALATKA,S RAILROADS.
The Gem City Bound to Become a
Great Transportation Centre.

The Gem City Bound to Become
Great Transportation Centre.
PALATKA, FLA, March 29.-The Gem
City, not content with her present fine
railroad lacilities,ls preparing to increase
them. A new company has just been
organized to tap the northwestern part
OF the state, affording this section more
direct and quicker transportation to the
West, and also bring the passenger travel
from that section to its very doors.
The incorpOrstors include some of the best
and most substantial citizens of this city
and they certainly mean business. The
incHrporators are Messrs. II l.. Hart, j..
Z. Vertees, W. j. Webb, S. j. Kennedy,
Sumner q. Chandler, w. J. Vinegar, ).
L. Hammond, Marcus Loeb and n. q q,
Payne, of Palatka; Edward Lewis, Of
Tallahassee, and X. N. Murray, of Chica-
go. These gentlemen are all vitality in
tereste0 in the growth OF the Gem City
and in all probability will push this pro-
ject to an early completion. AS
road is now building from
Kansas City 10 Birmingham, Ala,
thence to Columbus, Ga, and from there
to some point in Gadsden county, Fla, it
will be readily seen that this proposed
road would supply the ''missing link" Tor
such a trunk line, enabling them to ham
uLS Il Noly ldIRc pOItlOu vi Il pas
senger and freiG ht traffic. Such through
line is badly needed by Florida to the
Northwest, and The prospects are good
now for its completion.
A full corps of surveyors are now at
work on the preliminary survey OF the
proposed st. Johns River, Lake Weir and
Cult railroad. This road begins at Nor
walk, on the st. johns, aud will extend
to the Gulf at AnclOte, via Lake Weir.
Work on the grading and construction
will begin within two months. 1t goes
through good section of country, and
mas fair prospects TOR paying business.
Senator ii. G. Wright, OF the First dis
trict OF Georgia, is stopping at the Carle-
ton.
Sanford Is to have new bank. Judge
J. f. Welborne, who is putting up ine
brick block there, will open bank as
soon as his building is ready. There Ia
one bank already there doing business,
but the field is good one, with sufficient
business for two.
Capt, JARVIS, Superintendent OF the st.
Augustine and Palatka railway, informs
the MORNING NEWS correspondent That
their winters business has been fair
one. This road is in tine condition, with
a well ballasted track and good rolling
stock, ana under Capt. Jarvis expert
enced hands is fast becoming q model
line. Their system Of cheap summer eX-
cursions is popular one and proved very
successful last year. Rates are reduced
one-half or tnereabouts, and the result is
the excursion trains are always well
loaded

The Markham House property, includ-
Ing the furniture, was sold at auction to-
day on the premises. There was large

citement. A stranger from New YORK
made the first bid, $75, 900, but left the
field to +. Nj. COker, President OF the
Bank OF the State Of Georgia, and Charles
Glasner, who represented John Silyey, a
prominent merchant. The bidding was
spirited till Mr.. Cocker put his S99,9 1893 and
his opponent added the other dollar and
took the property. 1t is not yet known
what Mr. Silvey will do with his hotel.
QUESTIONABLE APPROPRIATION.
The City Council has appropriated
S15, 200 for park and fair purposes, an
amount equal to the proceeds ofthe sale OF
Oglethorpe park, which was to be put
inside for this purpose, but has been other
wise used. 1t is reported that City At
torney Goodwin has rendered an opinion
60 the Finance Committee, which has been
vested with power to carry out the enter
prise, that the appropriation is illegal.
No final action has been taken yet, and
the proposition may have to be abandoned
